A welcome sign when you arrive after a long flight. If you've been to Hawaii's other islands but not Kauai, you'll notice the difference as soon as you land. There is something about this island that makes you feel welcome and relaxed. After the roughly ten mile drive from the airport in Lihue to Kapaa and the Pono Kai you will be welcomed by this sign at the Pono Kai. It's time to get on island time and relax.
